About Orgova Home Inspections: Experience, Education & a Family-Owned Approach

Serving Central Florida homebuyers, homeowners, and real estate professionals with detailed inspections and one-on-one guidance.

FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS

Built on Experience. Focused on the People We Serve.

Orgova Home Inspections is a family-owned home inspection company serving Central Florida with a simple philosophy: inspect thoroughly, explain clearly, and help our clients make educated decisions about their homes. Founded by Gregg and Nancy Karas, Orgova combines decades of technical and construction experience with a personal, consultative approach to home inspections. We take the time to understand our clients’ concerns, explain what we find, and remain available when questions arise after the inspection.

Our Consultative Approach to Home Inspections

A home inspection should provide more than a list of defects. Our consultative approach is designed to help clients understand the home, put inspection findings into perspective, and make informed decisions without unnecessary alarm. We take the time to explain what we find, answer questions, and discuss which concerns may deserve closer attention. Our relationship doesn’t end when the report is delivered—we remain available after the inspection when questions arise. It’s part of what we mean when we welcome our clients into the “Orgova Family.”

Professional Qualifications Backed by Real-World Experience

Orgova Home Inspections combines professional training and licensing with decades of real-world technical and construction experience. Co-owner and principal inspector Gregg Karas is a Florida-licensed home inspector, InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector® and Certified Master Inspector® (CMI®). He also holds an FAA Remote Pilot Certificate, supporting Orgova’s use of drone technology when roof conditions or accessibility make it appropriate.

Those qualifications are strengthened by more than 30 years of electrical engineering experience and approximately 25 years of construction experience. That background provides valuable perspective when evaluating how a home’s major systems and components work together, including the roof, structure, electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems. Gregg also holds a Florida WDO identification card (“J Card”) under Florida WDO Consultants LLC, allowing Orgova to perform Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) inspections as part of the same inspection appointment rather than requiring clients to coordinate with a separate inspection company.

Thorough, Client-Centered Home Inspections

We don’t stack inspection appointments or rush through a home to get to the next job. We allow the time needed to inspect the property carefully, document our findings, and give our clients the opportunity for one-on-one guidance. After the inspection, clients receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report and can speak directly with their inspector to discuss findings and ask questions.

No home is perfect, and an inspection isn’t about passing or failing a property. Our job is to identify and explain what we observe, help put those findings into perspective, and provide the information our clients need to make informed decisions. Whether you’re buying an existing home, purchasing new construction, selling a property, or simply trying to better understand the condition of your home, Orgova’s approach remains the same: take the time to inspect it thoroughly and explain what we find clearly.

Experience matters most when it helps you understand the home in front of you. We bring decades of technical and construction knowledge to every inspection—and take the time to explain what we find.

EXPERIENCE THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Technical Experience Beyond the Inspection Checklist

Choosing a home inspector involves more than checking licenses and certifications. Training establishes an important foundation, but years of hands-on experience can provide additional perspective when evaluating how a home was built, how its systems interact, and when something simply doesn’t look or perform as expected. That broader perspective is an important part of the way Orgova approaches every inspection.

Gregg’s background includes more than 30 years of electrical engineering experience and approximately 25 years of construction experience. That technical and hands-on background is particularly valuable when evaluating electrical systems, but it also contributes to a broader understanding of construction methods, building components, and the relationships between systems throughout a home. We combine that experience with established home inspection standards and a methodical approach designed to identify concerns, explain their significance, and give our clients a clearer understanding of the property they are considering or already own.

GET TO KNOW US: ORGOVA HOME INSPECTIONS

Orgova Home Inspections is owned by Gregg and Nancy Karas, a husband-and-wife team who have built the company around personal service, education, and taking care of clients the way we would want our own family to be treated. Gregg serves as our principal home inspector, while Nancy helps manage the business and keeps things running behind the scenes. Together, we’ve built Orgova to be more than an inspection company—we want our clients to know who they’re working with and feel comfortable reaching out when they have questions.

Outside of home inspections, family time is important to us. Gregg and Nancy have two grown children, and when we’re not working, you’ll often find our family enjoying one of Central Florida’s theme parks or simply relaxing together poolside.

The Family Behind Orgova

Our family’s journey to Central Florida was shaped in large part by our desire to support our son, Jake, who has autism, as he pursued his education and greater independence. Our daughter, Kierra, shares that commitment to others through her involvement with Special Olympics, where she has volunteered as a coach. Those experiences have helped shape the patience, communication, and respect for individual needs that are important to us both personally and professionally.

Nancy is also an integral part of Orgova Home Inspections. As co-owner and office manager, she helps clients from their first contact with us and keeps the day-to-day operation moving behind the scenes. Together, our family believes in supporting the community we call home and treating every client with the same patience, respect, and personal attention we would want for our own family.

QUALIFICATIONS & PROFESSIONAL CREDENTIALS

Professional education doesn’t stop when an inspector becomes licensed. Gregg continues to pursue specialized training and qualifications across the systems, property types, and inspection services our clients rely on. His professional credentials include Florida home inspector licensure, InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector® training, the Certified Master Inspector® (CMI®) designation, an FAA Remote Pilot Certificate, and additional specialized inspection qualifications. Combined with decades of electrical engineering and construction experience, that ongoing education supports the detailed, informed approach Orgova Home Inspections brings to properties throughout Central Florida.
